hi, my parents have a house in pakistan built about 15-20 yrs ago, obviously contruction and layout is quiet different to over here in uk.
one of the internal walls has damp coming up for years on both sides, its whitish, and is next to a open type shower room but not the back wall to the shower room more the branch off wall like a 'L' shape.
im not sure if thats causing the problem because it may be coming up from the ground.
maybe not suffiently damp proofed during construction in that area.
is there anything that i can put on the walls like paint or something to stop this without taking the wall down or drastic measure.
All help is much appreciated, and thanks in advance.
